Ok... I'll wait for it.

Are you using the festival-server API in gnome-speech ?

AFAIK, the say function was monolitic, so, it should have to be issue by
another thread but I don't think Festival is multithread.
Anyway as you see in other mails I'll post, I'm trying to supouse as little=
 as
posible for the capabilities of the TTS, because maybe festival can be
stoped, but other TTS may not be stoped... I need a common ground to be able
to make every plug in look exactly the same to Proklam which is important to
speed up plug in development as well as well as Proklam... I'll come back to
this issue in another mail.
